Potentially harmful chemicals that were banned from children’s teething rings and rubber duck toys a decade ago may still be present in high concentrations in your child’s favorite meal: macaroni and cheese mixes made with powdered cheese.

The chemicals, called phthalates, can disrupt male hormones like testosterone and have been linked to genital birth defects in infant boys and learning and behavior problems in older children. The chemicals migrate into food from packaging and equipment used in manufacturing and may pose special risks to pregnant women and young children.

I wonder how far the right is on keeping the Federal government out of free enterprise. Should it ban this chemical in Mac & Cheese? Or is it Fake News?

MSM is ridiculing the laying on of hands for Donald Trump. Proving again that they have lost touch with America

The CNN video wasn't that bad, just questioning if there was an underlying motive behind it. The other video I didn't watch because it wasn't MSM.

I did read an article on Vox about this though, and about his recent interview with Pat Robertson. I think they were making too much of it but I do think there are some views in evangelical circles that aren't good. It saddens me to see evangelical leaders support Trump so enthusiastically. I can understand Christians voting for Trump out of a political calculation and in that case they are using Trump as much as Trump is using them, but I don't get Christian leaders who love Trump and think he's some crusader.

If any of my views seem to be strange or new to you, it is to be hoped that you will not close your mind to them, but will emulate the noble Bereans, and not only read and study the chapters would discuss, but will also search the Scriptures to see whether these things be so.

Are you calling it hypocrisy because Russians helping Trump win is supposed to be bad but Americans helping Yeltsin win is supposed to be a good thing?

Well, that pretty much defines hypocrisy..::

Its the right who started to embraced Putin that helped Trump win. Georgia was invaded by the Russians when W was president. Nothing really came of that. Then Putin invaded Ukraine when Obama was president and it made Obama look weak. That is the clarion call for the right. So Putin began to be praised. Giuliani was one of the first to sing the praises of Putin saying "unlike Obama, Putin is what you call a leader". Trump with his financial connections to Russian oligarchs and as the poster child of the birther movement, he praises Putin continually. So the party of Ronald Reagan calling Russia "the evil empire" in one generation completely changed the mindset of many on the right. It is really amazing when you think about it. So it was Obama's fault because of the right's intense hatred of Obama that "helped Trump win" and not without Russia's further aid and abetting.
